Seven Reasons to Turn Down a Marriage Proposal

He's wonderful and he's all yours. But wait, should you say "yes" when he gets down on bended knee? Here are some reasons to say "no".

  1. The guy is a creep and you wouldn't date him let alone marry him (Yes, I have had a guy use a marriage proposal as his opening line)
  2. Your gut instinct is to run away (You may care about each other deeply, but if you're not ready then you're not ready)
  3. He's sweet and you love him but you're not in love with him (Yes, loving someone vs being in love are different things)
  4. You're pregnant (Not a good reason, trust me. Yes, baby needs a father if possible, but marriage is not always the best way to keep baby's daddy close)
  5. The proposal is a practical joke... (See number 1)
  6. He's abusive or neglectful. If you think things will get better after the wedding, think again. They always get worse.
  7. You want a big wedding. The groom is almost optional and you'll say yes to the first guy who asks.
